They wanted a sexy avatar, turns out Oglaf.com is in the training set. "Mistress!"

Strange, ever noticed how many of the genAI logos looked like an anus? https://velvetshark.com/ai-company-logos-that-look-like-buttholes. "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action", what is dozens of times?

Reaction ro Yud:

Soo... Care to have a word with Scott about Unsong?

And reply from what I assume is a lesswronger:

Extremely annoying to read something, halfway in discovering it's fake, then having to go back to re-update backwards on everything I "learned" from it

Re-update backwards

E: I keep thinking of Re-update backwards, how it is silly to have a special term for this (which prob means it has occurred often enough for them to think of one), and that it is silly to have to do this a lot because keeps happening and then not changing your behavior, how weird is your internet media consumption if you just assume everything you read on a blog is true. I would hope the first time people fall for that (I fell for adequacy [dot] org (I checked the actual link and got a red paged 'this site is dangerous' warning so not sure if the archive is still up, not used to those red paged warnings so didn't follow up on it) at the time, in my defense, I'm a fool) they start to be a bit less trustworthy of random stuff they read. But nope, re-update your priors backwards.

Look: I’ve managed to get through an entire essay on rationalism without mentioning Roko’s basilisk even once, and frankly I think I deserve a bit of credit for it.

The effort this took is outstanding.

Victorian Sufi Buddha Lite, if it is true, it can't be rude. ;)

(E: im just joking btw, I agree with you it can be rude, and tbh this does come off a bit rude, but not the worst, no idea why this would score high on their scoring system, it def isn't nice, but it is also not that bad in regards to comments).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zima_Blue_and_Other_Stories it is, I still have not watched love death + robots, so I only knew it from the story collection.

At least you can fix AI overview shit for yourself and others you know using the https://udm14.com/ method (click the how it works thing to see how it actually works so you can edit your search urls to include that).

Of course, it is now funded by growth at all cost VC people, they do not understand fun or joy, all they want to see is n = n+1

this board is filled with self-satisfied assholes who feel free to hold forth on whatever subject crosses their minds, with the absolute certainty that they’re the smartest people in the room

If your system flagged that as toxic, makes me wonder about the system. Also check your bias against people saying this because it def comes off as true. (And hey if this truth hurts, remember that he didnt claim yall are not the smartest people, yall have 130+ iqs remember).

Forgot to save who said it, but on bsky somebody said they or their friends had come up with a slur for people who use genAI for everything: sloppers.

More people should have read Zima Blue.

Yeah and for all its faults, google still works well at times, I try to use more ddgo, but at times it is easier to find what I want using google. (Or at all), doesnt always work however and google has a massive 'we are pointing to our own stuff/people who pay or might pay first'. Searched for 'lets play' recently and it was very obvious. (You can do that yourself, search for that and see how long it takes you to get to the something awful lets play page, and note the urls of all the results before that (also note not just how many publicates there are but how many are yr)), of course I could have searched for 'lets play something awful' but I wanted to see how long it took for it to show up. (And if SA appears that late, what chance do smaller new non-slop projects have, if only google has less sloppers).

Those who do not study history are doomed to recreate neopets.
